But it will cost you: the resort can be rented out for week-long intervals, starting at $US150,000 per week.

The resort prides itself on its privacy and has referred to itself as a “private getaway” …

… which makes sense in the scheme of tourism in Thailand. After all, Bangkok took the top spot in Mastercard’s Global Cities Index in 2016, 2017, and 2018 alike, which measures the rise of fall of travel within 162 cities worldwide.

So, while a private and luxurious space like the one offered by The Resort Villa doesn’t come cheap, it does offer a seemingly rare opportunity for exclusivity in an otherwise highly-trafficked tourist destination.
